**Title**

Are citizens of Delhi willing to stop using private vehicles for their daily office commute in order to reduce air pollution and related ailments - a contingent valuation study.

**Abstract**

Maintaining air quality is one of the biggest challenges in urban planning, public health and governance requiring multi-pronged approaches aimed at different stakeholder groups. According to Greenpeace estimates, twenty-two of the worlds’ most polluted cities are in India. Delhi remains the most polluted capital in the world. The National Capital Region of Delhi accounts for five of the top eleven most polluted cities in India. Air pollution has been associated with higher risks of cardio vascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and lung cancer. Prolonged exposure to traffic related air pollution has also been associated with higher risks of lymphocytic leukaemia and mental health issues. Ambient traffic related air pollution has been found to be associated with reduced cognitive function in older men. Increased vehicular traffic in big cities is a major cause of air/noise pollution, road traffic accidents and loss pf productivity caused by longer commutes caused by traffic congestion. Traffic related air pollution can be significantly controlled by reducing the number of vehicles on the roads. Encouraging the use of public transport is one of the most important interventions aimed at reducing vehicular congestion and resultant air pollution. Governments across the world have heavily invested in the development of public transport systems and have looked for means of engaging with citizens to encourage the use of public transport. The current study aims at assessing the willingness of the residents of Delhi to stop using their private vehicles and shift to public transport. The study will also assess the current attitudes and perceptions towards the current public transport system. The study will use a contingent valuation method (CVM) to determine the willingness to pay of private vehicle users to continue using their vehicles for their daily office commute. CVM has been widely used to assess impacts of environmental sustainability and to value air quality improvements including to value health impacts of air pollution. A similar study in Malaysia lead to important policy interventions. Apart from providing information on perceptions and attitudes of commuters towards the current public transport system, the study will provide information on the economic value placed by commuters on private transportation and provide an estimate of the welfare gain associated with it. It will also provide information on the possibility of new interventions such as imposing additional fees/taxes on private vehicle use to encourage the use of public transport as well as indicate the optimum amount of such taxes/fees that will discourage the use of private vehicles. This is especially important in the Delhi National Capital Region given the huge amount of investments in the Delhi Metro and the feeder transport services across the city and suburbs.

**Objectives**
- To assess and summarise evidence on contingent valuation studies identifying the willingness to pay (WTP) or willingness to Accept (WTA) of private vehicle users to continue to use private transport modes or shift to public transport respectively.
- To assess the attitude and perceptions of private vehicle users in Delhi on the current public transport system, air pollution in Delhi and related morbidities.
- To assess the willingness of private vehicle users to shift to public transport for their daily commute to office and determinants thereof.
